What Thompson Will Seek To Do.
Representative Jesse L. Thomp
son will introduce a bill at the
June session of the legislature to
have the county commissioners of
Hall county elected by the peo
ple. He is opposed to the present
method of electing them by the
grand jury.
He has not yet determined whai
be will do about the city court.
He says he will put three petitions
at the ordinary’s office for the peo
ple to sign, one of which will pro
vide for the abolition of the city
court, one for the election of the
judge and solicitor by the people,
and one to let the court remain
like it is. If the people signify
their wishes about the city court
by signing these petitions, he ex
pects to be governed largely by
the one containing the largest
number of names. If more peo
ple sign the petition to abolish the
court than any of the others, he
will take it as an indication that
they desire the court abolished,
and so on with reference to the
other petitions.
Mr. Thompson will also intro
duce a bill providing for a special
grand jury box in every county in
the state. This will provide that
the judge of the superior court
shall draw the grand jury from
this box according to the popula
tion of each militia district in
each county. For instance, the
Gainesville district is the largest
in Hall county and it would be
entitled to about two grand jurors
to the smaller districts’ one. The
intent of the bill is to have every
district in the county represented
on each grand jury.
Good Roads in Jackson.
Now, since through the able and
untiring effoirts of Congressman
F. C. Tate we are to have rural
free delivery routes established all
over Jackson county, we of course
must have good roads. The routes
are being established with the dis
tinct understanding that the peo
ple provide good roads. And
even if we have no rural delivery,
all the money intelligently spent
in road work*is a good investment
that will return many fold. In
order to be successful in the com
mendable efforts of the county
commissioners to keep the roads
in good shape, they should have
the hearty co-operation ot the
people of the county. We believe
the people are willing to be taxed
to build good roads so long as the
money is judiciously spent for the
purpose intended. Too many
high salaried road officers, and
unwise and extravagant expendi
ture of money that should be used
to work the public highways of
the county, will cause much dis
satisfaction and complaint, and
will do the good road cause much
damage.—Herald.
Two Big Schemes.
The government has on hand
two big schemes, both of which
promise to occupy the attention
of the country for many years
and to take vast sums out of the
Treasury. One is the improve
ment of the Mississippi river and
the other is the irrigation of the
and lands of the West c
For Dink and His Bar’I.
The Hon. Bunk Cooper is eer-
lously considering whether he
shall run for Congress against
Charley Bartlett down m the Ma
con district. And that reminds
us—The Hon. Dink Botts of
Lumpkin County is being impor
tuned by his numerous friends to
allow the use of his name as a can
didate in the 9th against Carter
Tate. If the Hon. Dink gets into
the race, Carter will have to look
well to his laurels, as it is under
stood that Mr. Botts has a barrel
of blockade on tap for the boys.
—Cherokee Advance.
Now there goes Botts.—First
came Carter Tate who sowed the
district down with garden seeds.
Next came some candidate whose
name we have forgotten and
flooded the district with postage
stamps. Then came genial John
Holder of Jackson, and injected
the possum supper. Last but not
least comes Dink Botts with a bar
rel of liquor.
We are for Botts. Botts and
rabbit foot corn. One and in
separable, now and forever.
Hurrah for Botts.—Buford Enter

Some Predictions.
Hon. Hoke Smith of Atlanta
gave out an interesting talk on
politics in New York last week.
It is his opinion that the conserva
tive Democrats will control the
next Democratic National Con
vention, and that the nominee for
President will be eitiier Judge
Alton B. Parker of New York or
Richard Olney of Massachusetts.
Mr. Smith, in speaking ot the
Democrats of the South, said:
“The people of our state and, in
fact, of the whole South, are tired
of revolutionary doctrines and
practices. They want continued
prosperity and a chance to make
money without having to spend a
lot of time guessing what is going
to happen at Washington.” w
Mr. Smith may be right in say
ing that the nominee will be either
Mr. Olney or Judge Parker, but if
he thinks that Mr. Bryan isn’t
going to exert a strong influence
in the nominating convention he
will discover that he is mistaken.
Here in the South there is un
doubtedly a strong and growing
sentiment in favor of the nomina
tion offsome such man as Judge
Parker or Mr. Olney, but it is in
the towns that this sentiment is
particularly noticeable. In the
rural districts Mr. Bryan is stil 1 a
power.—Savannah News.
Col. H. W. Bell Is President.
Hon. H. W. Bell, of Jefferson,
Ga., was elected president of the
Georgia Soldiers’ Home Thursday
morning at the regular quarterly
meetiug of the trustees of the
home in Atlanta.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
says: “Rural free delivery has
already been extended into many
sections of the country, and as
other sections improve their pub
lic roads and bring them up to
the requirements, the service will
be given to them. Good roads are
necessary to the successful opera
tion of the service. ”
LATEST FASHION NOTES.
A BICH AND ELEGANT COAT.
This coat is almost regal in its mag
nificence, being developed of heavy
corded black novelty cloth. It is
made with loose front' and back, the
revers-facing of white peau de soie and
fancy black and white striped velvet,
and on the sleeves as well as above the
narrow ruffles, appear wide bands of
handsome tapestry embroidery. Grelots
of jet beads also add to the trimming,
and the turn-down collar consists of
ermine with bands of the same on the
sleeves.
Apropos of coats— the latest Eton,
the very latest, is double breasted. It
is cut V-shaped in the back, V-shaped
in the back and there are doable
lapels, one^deeper than the other, all
double breasted and stitched with Cor-
ticelli stitching silk. The sleeves have
two capes at the top, and the Eton
itself falling below the belt in front,
thus suggesting a Directoire. Then
there is an Eton which is very nice and
which makes a nice winter garment.
It is fastened in the back, as so. many
winter coats are, while the front is
laid in folds to below the bust, where
the Eton is cut off. The shirtwaist in
this case is made with a full baggy
effect over the front of the belt.
Don’t Drop the Right.
At a banquet in Des Moines, la.,
Thursday night Mr. Bryan, responding
to the toast “Democracy,” said, m part:
“To say that a right principle mast
be dropped because the party has suf
fered defeat in support of the principle
is as ridiculous as it is cowardly. The
Democratic party has been defeated
more often on the tariff issue than any
other issue, and yet that is the issue
that the reorganizers would make the
paramount one: the trust question was
an issue both in 1896 and in 1900, and
there is as much reason for declaring
that the elections vindicated private
monopolies as to say that they vindi*
cated the gold standard.
“In 1900, the trust question was
more discussed than the money ques
tion, and yet the people who want to
drop the money question pretend to
feel an interest in the trust question.
Imperialism was the paratnount issue
in 1900 and overshadowed all others,
and yet those who are opposed to im
perialism would not be willing to drOj*
that issue.
“While circumstances determine the
emphasis that should be placed upon
particular issues, no party can afford
to abandon a righteous position once
takeu for fear that to maintain it
would be unpopular.”
Colonel A. R. Lawton, of Savannah,
Georgia state troops, retired, has been
appointed by the secretary of war as a
member of the board to make rules
governing the rifle contest between the
army and militia for a national trophy,
provision for which was recently made
by congress.
